As posted on the Sciaroidea mailig list:
"I have heard that Leonard Kidd, who was co-author with Tony Hutson and Michael Ackland of the 1980 RES Handbook on British fungus gnats, has died in the past week aged 93. I have informed his co-authors.
Leonard was curator at the Oldham Museum and his work on Diptera didn't continue much after his retirement in 1981. His collection is now at the Liverpool Museum. My correspondence with him continued occasionally until 1995, and he wrote in 1992 to thank me for naming Zygomyia kiddi after him.
